GREEN QUARRY TECHNOLOGY EXCELLENCE (GQTE 2026)
20 & 21 OCTOBER 2026
PALM GARDEN HOTEL, IOI RESORT CITY, PUTRAJAYA

 

The quarrying industry is a vital contributor to infrastructure development and economic growth, playing a fundamental role in every nation's journey towards sustainable development. Today, the industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the adoption of Green Quarry Operations, artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies that enhance productivity, safety, environmental stewardship, and operational excellence.

Modern quarrying extends beyond regulatory compliance. It embraces sustainable resource management, reduced environmental impact, worker and community safety, climate change mitigation, circular economy principles, transparent reporting and the application of innovative technologies to achieve world-class operational performance.

The Institute of Quarrying Malaysia (IQM) has selected "Green Quarry Technology Excellence (GQTE 2026)" as the theme for IQM CONEX 2026. The theme also commemorates IQM's historic recognition in the Malaysian Book of Records, reflecting the Institute's continued commitment to advancing the quarrying industry.

Building on the success of previous CONEX conferences, IQM CONEX 2026 will bring together government agencies, international experts, industry leaders, equipment manufacturers, academics, quarry professionals and aspiring graduates to exchange knowledge, showcase the latest technologies and strengthen professional networks.

The conference will feature technical presentations on cutting-edge quarrying technologies, sustainable best practices and industry innovations. It will also recognise outstanding achievements through the presentation of the IQM Award of Excellence, Quarry Manager Certificate and Quarry Manager Practising Certificate, reaffirming IQM CONEX as Malaysia's premier international quarrying conference dedicated to advancing world-class, sustainable quarrying excellence.

THIS CONFERENCE IS REGISTERED AS AN HRDC CLAIMABLE COURSE. COMPANIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO UTILISE THEIR HRD CORP TRAINING FUND TO SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATION.  ADDITIONALLY, INDIVIDUALS SEEKING TO ACCUMULATE CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) HOURS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.
